In this performance, trumpeter Eric Vloeimans and organist Aart Bergwerff bring the piece to life in an entirely new way. Eric, one of the Netherlands’ most beloved trumpeters, is known for his warm tone and expressive improvisations, while Aart adds a deep dimension with his rich, spatial organ sound. Together, they create a special dialogue between trumpet and organ that completely immerses the audience in the hypnotic world of Canto Ostinato.

Canto Ostinato is most frequently performed on two or four grand pianos. Experiencing the organ version is therefore both unique and highly refreshing. In 2007, Toon Hagen created an arrangement for organ, which he performs regularly.

The organ’s diverse registers, with their numerous tonal colors, combined with the church acoustics, give the piece a highly distinctive character. Every performance sounds different. This is partly due to the type of organ and the space it occupies, but primarily because it is an emotionally charged piece. Hagen’s mood at that exact moment determines what he plays. On the other hand, the same applies to the listener absorbing the music.
